bobh Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Thanks for posting the article link, a very interesting story! It would be nice if we could see a little bit more of your coin and less of the slab. Here's mine: It's also in a slab, but not PCGS nor NGC nor ANACS. Therefore, the grade of my coin on the slab is somewhat irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saor Alba Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 The story is good but isn't complete with how they were finally made common again. In the early 1960's with the rise in price of silver people started becoming a lot more interested in buying up silver dollars at banks. The banks then ordered coins that the Treasury had - which is how some of the scarcer dates that had been stored in vaults for nearly sixty years were finally released. The 1904-O Morgans were first noticed at a bank in Flint, Michigan in the early 1960's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
